Preferences export: Where in Windows Registry VEGAS Pro 14 is stored?

Hi,

I'm migrating to another computer, and I'd like to export/import my current VEGAS Pro 14 preferences.

I took a look in Windows Registry and couldn't find where VEGAS Pro 14 is stored, in order I can export the .reg file.

Does anyone know where in Windows Registry I can find VEGAS Pro 14?

Thank you!

Some things are in the registry, for example project properties templates are still in a "Sony" branded location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sony Creative Software\Vegas Pro\14.0\Metrics\VideoProProfiles

You can transfer those using this type of procedure.

On the other hand, windows layouts are in this location:

%APPDATA%\VEGAS Pro\14.0

You can transfer those using this type of procedure.

The Sony Preset Manager still works and can be used to export and import FX chains. More here.

The Vegasausar Presets Manager (not free) can transfer more.

I've never been able to transfer preferences. I always end up just manually setting them all again.

The whole ease of transfer and migration of Vegas settings could be greatly improved.

It looks like Vegas Pro 14 preferences are stored here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sony Creative Software\Vegas Pro\14.0\Metrics\Application

There are lot of them and they have non-descriptive names like B4406. You could try and migrate preferences by exporting and importing a .reg file but take a registry backup on the destination machine before you do it. If you do that, please let us know how it goes.

Just type in the registry find menu Vegas 14 and you will find millions of registry thingys. Your finger pushing the F3 keyboard will go numb.

I'm still using Vegas 14, and considering upgrade to Vegas Pro 15.

On this regard of export/import preferences and customization, does Vegas Pro 15 still the same, or there were any improvement to make the process simpler/easier?

Thanks for information!

@cadudesun As far as I remember, it was still the same type of procedure.
